As per the Budget Pronouncement made by Hon'ble MR, GIS/GPS
mapping of various assets of Indian Railways (Land, Route, Track, Bridges, Level Crossings, Stations, SEJs, Other Track Features, Buildings, Signals, Axle counters, OHE Masts, SP/SSP, etc.) was to be done. IR's Al Assets
(belonging to all departments including production units) were to be mapped.
It is to be made possible to view these on Satellite and other Imageries on GIS
platform of Indian Railways. This was communicated vide Ref-1 to all Zonal
Railways and Production Units,
Zonal Railways were to do GPS survey of track and track side assets by
using RDPS and Orthophoto/Photogrammetry Survey by Unmanned Aerial
System (UAS-Drone). GPS Survey of assets away from track e.g. Land, Buildings, Colonies,
Workshops, Hospitals, Production Units, CTls, RDSO, schools etc. is to be
done by using Survey Grade Hand Held Devices (without Differential ground
stations). All the assets pertaining to all department viz. Engineering.
Mechanical, Electrical, Signal 8& Telecommunication, Stores, Security etc. were to be identified, listed and surveyed by GPS based survey.
The GPS Survey of off-track assets is to be carried out by Zonal
Railways, Production Units, etc. either by procuring the devices or by
outsourcing the same. GPS survey of RDSO, Central Training Institutes
(IRICEN, IRIEE, IRIMEE, IRITM, CAMTECH, etc.) was also to be carried out.
The survey includes collecting GPS survey data of off-track assets along with
attributes.
As informed vide Ref-1, Technical Guidelines for GPS Handheld devices
for capturing off-track assets has been finalized by CRIS and is enclosed
hereurith for necessarv action.

Departmental Survey of off-track Assets- Using Survey Grade
2.1. GPS (Global Positioning System) based handheld devices are to be used for field
survey, input form development for GIS based data preparation and data
collection. he survey includes collecting the GPS survey data of these assets
along with attributes.
2.2. Scope of Work:
All Railway buildings and structures including Land, Buildings, Colonies, Workshops,
Production Units, Hospitals, and Schools etc. are to be covered including Central
Training Institutes (IRICEN, IRIEEN, IRIMEE, IRITM, CAMTECH, etc.). The list is
attached as Annexure-1.
2.3. Data Acquisition and Accuracy:
The existing features of various railway assets other than the assets associated with
railway track can be categorized into three parts; (1) Point features like utility poles,
etc.; (ii) Line features like road, nallah etc.; and (ii) Polygon features like Buildings,
offices, ground, etc.
For surveying of these assets following technical parameters are to be followed:
a Accuracy: <= 2 Meter
b) Only SBAS/ GAGAN enabled devices are to be used.
c Data Storage and Transfer: Data captured in a handheld GPS receiver should be
first downloaded to a compuler before it is sent to CRIS for use for mapping /
programming.
( d) Coordinate Reference System (CRs): WGS 84
2.4. Data Collection Process:
a) Identification& Linking of Railway assets All the off-track assets pertaining to all departments viz. Engineering, Mechanical,
Electrical, Signal & Telecommunication, Stores, Security, etc. should be identified and
listed for GPS based survey.
b) Designing of data collection forms Data collection format along with attributes is attached as Annexure 2. Customized
Pplication can be developed for the devices to fulfill the requirement of the data
collection formats.
c) Precautions: 1. Capturing of data to be done when 7 or more GPS Satellites are available. During
heavy cloud and rai
2. SBAS/ GAGAN enabled Receiver should be used for data collection. weather, the survey work should not be done.
3. Output (File Format):
3.1.The output from the handheld device should be in .shp file format duly linked
with attribute of the assets.
Note: If the output provided by the device is in a different format than .Shp then it
should be converted to .Shp fle format using desktop software provided by the device supplier. Data in only .Shp file is to be sent to CRIS for further processing.
3.2.File naming system -Every recorded file should be saved in Railway
4. List of attributes of the features for creating data collection forms
1. Asset Category (As given in Annexure-1)
2. Asset Name (to be input)
3. Asset Type (Point, Line, Polygon) 4. Asset Detail (to be input) 5. Latitude (Automatically captured by devices) 6. Longitude (Automatically captured by devices) 7. Railway/PU (dropdown to be prepared in device as per list given in Annexure-2)
8. Division (dropdown to be prepared in device as per list given in Annexure-2.
9. State/UT (dropdown to be prepared in device as per list given in Annexure2.
10. District (to be input) 11. City/Town (to be input) 12. Asset Image (to be captured during survey) 13. Date/'Time (Automatically captured by devices)
